THE NEW TWO MILLION dollar University of Louisville library has at last been opened for student use. Entirely new rules have been
formulated for use of the 400,000 volumes which it contains. Almost .a year has elapsed between the dedication and the actual opening.
The dedication took place last January, when the cornerstone, conltaining many University documents, was sealed in place. It will be
opened in 100 years. This is the first of a series of new buildings 1to be added to the new look of the University of Louisville campus.
Plans are already under foot for the erection of a Student Union Building, construction to start in the near future.

Photo Art
During the month of Novem­ber,
The J. B. Speed Art Museum
is displaying "the world's great­est
photographic exhibition ...
large in concept, overwhelming in
picture content." The exhibition
of creative photography is dedi­cated
to the dignity ' of man, and
follows a theme which covers ev­ery
aspect of the life of mankind,
from birth to death, and there­after.
Not a time, passion, or
function in man's life is over­looked-
birth, childhood, adoles­cence,
manhood, old age, death;
love, joy, suffering, pity, hunger;
work, play, rest.
The original exhibit was con­ceived
by Edward S teichen for
the Museum of Modern Art, New
York. Five hundred examples by
two hundred seventy-three of the
world's most famed photogra­phers
from sixty-eight different
countries combine to form an ex­hibit
which is so vast in its cov­erage,
and yet touches so closely
to each and every individual who
sees it, that H well deserves the
critic's comment "greatest".

I Freshman Counseling Program
Assists Speed School Students
By MARSHALL SPRIGG
In the fall of 1955 a freshmen
counseling program was inaug­urated
at Speed School by Dean
R. C. Ernst as part of a recent
program of the Student Develop­ment
Commission of the Engi­neers'
Council for Professional
Development. The purpose of this
commission is to stress the ad­vancement
of engineering stu­dents
in all fields other than
those which are strictly interpre­ted
as being academic in nature.
The undertaking at Speed School
is a test program designed pri­marily
to investigate which phas­es
of college life students most
need assistance in and to furnish
this assistance whenever feasible.
First Phase
The first phase of the program
occurs in the process of selecting
only applicants who have shown
indications of having the ability
to successfully c o m p 1 e t e the
course of study in an engineering
school. This is done by requiring
sufficient background in science,
mathematics, and English, and by
administering certain engineering
aptitude examinations prior to
entrance. Failure •to meet the re­quirements
in either of these cat­egories
results in the person's not
being admitted. Thus any fresh­man
should be able to do satis­factory
work with the proper
preparation.
Freshmen Problems
In numerous instances in the
past, however, a surprisingly high
percentage of the freshmen stu­dents
hive been unable to cope
with the problems confronting
them in the change-over from
high school to college. This has
been an acute problem in engi­neering
schools locally as well as
nationally. The counseling pro­gram
is one of the steps being
•taken to overcome this difficulty.
At Speed School students are
divided into counseling sections
of twenty-five students during
the first quarter. In charge of
each section is a young faculty
member who has one or more
senior students as assistants. Dur­ing
these first ten weeks the
freshmen are required to report
at the same hour weekly to the
counselors in scheduled meetings
where general problems are dis­cussed
with them.
After -the second week students
requesting assistance in mathe­matics,
chemistry or physics are
sent to scheduled counseling un­der
staff members in these de-partments.
However they are re­quired
to attend the regular
counseling section at mid-quarter
and the last week of the quarter
at which times their grades are
discussed.
General Counseling
The dean also presents general
counseling material to the stu­dents
in his lectures on orienta­tion
in a scheduled credit course.
At the end of this quarter the
dean or assistant dean have per­sonal
interviews with all students
having failing grades.
The intensive orientation and
counseling program during' the
first quarter has as its primary
purpose to assist the freshmen in
having a successful first quai'ter's
college experience. •
The second quarter's counseling
changes in purpose. While the
first quarter was devoted to try­ing
to assist the student to pass,
the second quarter is concerned
with student problems and giving
more attention io encouraging
better work for superior stu­dents.
No help sessions are regu­larly
held in mathematics, phys­ics
and chemistry, but these de­partments
hold office hours at
appropriate times and s•tudents

Honorary Medical Society MeiDhership
A warded To D:r. S. I. Kornhauser
Dr. S. I. Kornhauser, whose de­gree
is doctor of philosophy, was
recently received by the Jeffer­son
County Medical Society as an
honorary member.
Dr. Kornhauser has been pro­fessor
and chairman of the de­partment
of anatomy at the Uni­versity
of Louisville Medical
School since 1922. He is chairman
of the Rhodes Scholarship Exam­ining
Board for Kentucky and of
the Louisville ·Medical Library.
A native of Cleveland, Dr.
Kornhauser was graduated from
the University of Pittsburgh. He
received his master's and doctor's
degrees from Harvard University.
He also studied in Germany at
the U ni versi ty of Halle and U ni­versity
of Wurzburg.
He is a former executive secre­tary
of the U. of L. Medical
School. He has wri-tten more than
25 published papers on biology
and anatomy, and has patented a
dissecting table and a method of
staining body tissues.
Most of the heads of the de­partments
at Med School have
both their M.D. and Ph. D. de­grees.
He has received 1:his honor
in recognition of the work that
he has done during the many
years of service to his profession.
He has watched the develop­ment
of many of the men who
Monday night awarded him this
singular honor, for this is the

the needed material from the en­velope,
leaving t•he envelope on
the table, (3) Check the material
out a1 the Circulation Desk. S tu­dents
should never return verti­cle
file ma terials to the file.
•Bound periodicals are shelved
in the north stacks and must be
used in the library because in
most cases they are irreplacable.
